Chapter 132 Lying About Element
"Why are you sitting here like a dumb person? Tell us what's your element and how are your stats?"
Zoravec was trapped between them as he could not potentially ignore them. He had to either say the truth which would definitely raise the red flag about his missing element. Or the other option he could proceed with was to lie about the existence of his element.
pαпdα-ňᴏνê|·сóМ Since most of the candidates who were human precisely were unaware of the types of elements. Zoravec had the knowledge about them which came handy for him at that time. Zoravec confidently smiled at them and picked up the most recurring element to lie about.
"Um, the stats are not impressive. It seems we both have to grind harder to ensure we reach the heights. Luckily we have contrasting elements, fire and water."
Blake's smile turned into a wide one as he seemed happy with the fact that Zoravec's blood group was AB Negative.
Although it was a plain lie generated abruptly, Zoravec had to find out why his elemental slot was empty. According to his knowledge he should have had 'chaos' as his wielding element. However, since he could not afford to risk his identity just for the sake of finding his powers he kept quiet about it.
He understood the dire need of finding his element but if he disclosed the absence, the pentagon might get him tested. Zoravec could possibly guess every gruesome experiment which the authorities would do with him to find the cause. After all, the odds of such a case were lowest since his blood group was the least occurring one.
"Oh that's great! We definitely are brothers for a reason now!"
Blake threw his weight over him as he intended to hug Zoravec, whereas the elven healer witnessed both of the boys evolving into a bromance. Zoravec chuckled softly as he glanced at the healer who spoke nothing.
However, Zoravec could potentially see curiosity on his face and an underlying hint of doubt. But since the elf did not say anything Zoravec also kept the little secret to himself. Blake and Zoravec thanked the healer for the treatment and headed towards the exit. They both still had numerous questions in their minds but now they required multiple sources for extortion.
"So, when can we meet again? I hope you are not going to turn your back on me like Clara."
Blake sounded disheartened upon the remembrance of how easily she used them both. Zoravec could clearly see how sad he was and patted his shoulder as they stood right outside the institute.
There were two lawns on each side of the wide pathway which was in the middle of them. Both of the boys stood outside in front of the stairs where they continued to talk. Zoravec was not sure how he should make it up to Blake to pull the poor guy out of the misery. He could not afford to lose the contact with Blake after knowing his fire element was one of the strongest.
"Haha, no, definitely not."
Zoravec wrapped his arm around his neck and pulled him a little in a joking manner. Their newly formed bond was a sweet one and it made Zoravec see him as a younger brother. Blake groaned upon the moment when Zoravec ruined his hair. He pouted and pushed Zoravec as he began to comb his hair with fingers.
"We will be in contact. I cannot lose such a good friend like you."
Zoravec seized the chance to make him aware that he deemed Blake as worthy of his friend. He was sure that Blake would take the lead and give him some way to contact later. But upon seeing him quiet and confused, Zoravec spoke when Blake hesitated.
"How about you give me your contact number since we have gotten our phones back?"
Zoravec fished out the phone from his pocket and gestured to Blake who in turn smiled and pulled out his. They both exchanged the numbers and ringed each other to confirm and then headed straight towards the exit.
"How will you go home?"
Blake was the one to ask him first as Zoravec responded with the address of his place. He was sure that to develop a good connection with him he had to ensure that Blake visited him often. And for that reason he hurriedly gave the location and asked him in return too.
For some reason, Zoravec was unable to understand whether Blake was really simple minded person or was he stupid enough not to see through his little tricks. Nonetheless, after they exchanged locations, both of them started to have casual talks which could be possibly done between two best friends.
Zoravec understood the dire need of asking everything which could prove to be beneficial for him in future. Blake seemed happy to finally be able to find a good friend who was understanding and actually helped him throughout the test sessions. They both headed towards the exit of the institute by passing through the vastly stretched route.
Both of them had formed a bond which was going to last for a long time. Perhaps. They were eager to be called again for a real mission or training. But till then they both had to meet outside frequently and be in contact with each other.
